Abstract :We propose a class of ratio estimators for the estimation of population mean by adapting the estimators in Upadhyaya and Singh [7] to the estimator in Singh and Tailor [6]. We obtain mean square error (MSE) equations for all proposed estimators and find theoretical conditions that make each proposed estimator more efficient than the traditional estimators and ratio estimator in Singh and Tailor [6]. In addition, these conditions are satisfied with an application with original dataKeywords : Ratio estimator, Auxiliary variable, Simple random sampling, Efficiency, 2000 AMS Classification: 62 D 05
